D A E A [Verse 1]
A E7 A A-rovin' on a winter's night
E7 D A And a-drinkin' good old wine,
A D A Thinkin' about that pretty little
F#m girl,
F#m A E7 A Thats broke this heart of mine. [Verse 2]
A E7 A She is just like a butter rose,
E7 D A That bloomed in the month of June.
A D A F#m Or like some musical instrument,
F#m A E7 A That's just been lately tuned. [Instrumental]

F#m A E7 A [Verse 3]
A E7 Perhaps it's a trip to a foreign
A land,
E7 D A A trip to France or Spain,
A D A But if I should go ten thousand
F#m miles,
F#m A E7 A I'm a-comin' back again. [Verse 4]
A And it's who's a-gonna shoe your
E7 A poor little feet,
E7 D Honey who's a-gonna glove your
A little hands?
A D A Who's a-gonna kiss your sweet
F#m sweetlips,
F#m A E7 A Tell me, who's a-gonna be your man? [Verse 5]
A E7 A I'll love you till the sea runs dry,
A E7 D A And the rocks all melt in the sun.
A D A F#m I love you till the day I die,
F#m A E7 A Though you will never be my own. [Verse 6]
A E7 A A-rovin' on a winter's night
E7 D A And a-drinkin' good old wine,
A D A Thinkin' about that pretty little
F#m girl,
F#m A E7 A That broke this heart of mine.
